Tips & Best Practices

1. Network Selection

• Fast Network:

  • Uses SOGNI tokens
  • Faster generation (seconds to minutes)
  • Higher cost
  • Best for: Time-sensitive applications

• Relaxed Network:

  • Uses Spark tokens
  • Slower generation (minutes to hours)
  • Lower cost
  • Best for: Batch processing, scheduled jobs

2. Model Selection

Popular models:

• flux1-schnell-fp8: Fast, high quality, 4 steps recommended
• coreml-sogni_artist_v1_768: Artistic style
• chroma-v.46-flash_fp8: Fast generation

Use "Get All Models" operation to see all available models.

3. Steps Configuration

• Flux models: 4-8 steps (optimized for speed)
• SD models: 15-30 steps (better quality)
• ControlNet: 20-30 steps (more control)

4. ControlNet Usage

• Start with strength 0.5 and adjust
• Use balanced mode for most cases
• Match ControlNet type to your control image
• See ControlNet Guide for details

5. Image Download

• Enable downloadImages to prevent URL expiry
• URLs expire after 24 hours
• Binary data is permanent in n8n
• Recommended for production workflows

6. Timeout Configuration

• Image - Fast network: 60,000ms (1 minute) usually enough
• Image - Relaxed network: 600,000ms (10 minutes) recommended
• Video - Fast network: 120,000ms (2 minutes) minimum
• Video - Relaxed network: 1,200,000ms (20 minutes) recommended
• Adjust based on complexity and model

7. Video Generation Tips

• Frame Count: Start with 30 frames for quick tests, increase for longer videos
• FPS: Use 30 fps for smooth motion, 10-15 fps for stylized/animated look
• Resolution: Start with 512x512 for faster generation, increase as needed
• Format: Currently only MP4 format is supported
• Models: Look for models with "video", "animation", or "motion" in their names

8. Image Edit Tips (Qwen)

• Model Selection: Use lightning variant for fast results (4 steps), standard for quality (20 steps)
• Context Images: Provide 1-3 reference images that inform the edit
• Edit Prompts: Be specific about what to change (e.g., "change background to beach" vs "make it better")
• Multiple References: Use 2-3 context images for complex edits like style transfer or object compositing
• Steps: Leave empty for auto-detection based on model, or override for fine control

Troubleshooting

"Insufficient funds" Error

Solution: Add more Spark or SOGNI tokens to your account

"Model not found" Error

Solution: Use "Get All Models" to see available models

"No binary data found" (ControlNet)

Solution:

1. Ensure previous node outputs binary data
2. Check the binary property name
3. Use "View" in n8n to inspect data

Workflow Times Out

Solution:

• Use relaxed network for slower but more reliable generation
• Increase timeout in Additional Fields
• Split large batches into smaller chunks

Images Not Downloaded

Solution:

• Check downloadImages is enabled
• Verify network connectivity
• Check n8n logs for download errors

"No binary data found" (Image Edit)

Solution:

1. Ensure previous node outputs binary data with the correct property name
2. Check contextImage1Property matches your binary property (default: data)
3. Use "View" in n8n to inspect binary data from previous node
4. For multiple context images, verify each property name is correct

Image Edit Results Unexpected

Solution:

• Use more specific edit prompts describing exactly what to change
• Try the standard model (qwen_image_edit_2511_fp8) for better quality
• Adjust guidance value (higher = more adherence to prompt)
• Provide additional context images for complex edits

API Reference

Wrapper Library

This node uses the @sogni-ai/sogni-client-wrapper library. For standalone Node.js usage:

import { SogniClientWrapper } from '@sogni-ai/sogni-client-wrapper';

const client = new SogniClientWrapper({
  username: 'your-username',
  password: 'your-password',
  autoConnect: true,
});

const result = await client.createProject({
  modelId: 'flux1-schnell-fp8',
  positivePrompt: 'A beautiful sunset',
  network: 'fast',
  tokenType: 'spark',
  waitForCompletion: true,
});
